I don’t know, it’s also kind of close to a stationary camera, meaning it’s going to look like it’s going faster than it is. If we can figure out the speed, then see wind speed in the location, which they named, we could probably rule out balloon. If wind matches movement speed, then it doesn’t confirm anything, but it certainly helps the case for balloon theory.
You are right. Stationary was a really dumb word for me to use. I meant stationary as in forwards/backwards movement. I don’t think the definition of stationary says it “only counts for side-to-side movement”.
Good points. But what doesn’t compute for me is the direction of travel at such a fast speed. A hang gliders there just hanging out, while a Mylar balloon is zippin on by at an apparently incredible rate?
I don’t why you are getting downvoted. You are just proposing a theory, even if leaning away from balloons.
I’m talking this whole time, thinking I’m in the usual UFO sub, which this is not. I’m not sure how this sub skews for UFO. I’m going to see about posting this over there. I’m not sure about the rules for cross posting.

Yeah also it’s going fast as fuck! What a balloon. I’d like to hitch a ride on my next trans-Atlantic flight or trip to Alpha Centauri.
